Man assaulted twice, stabbed

Lenawee County sheriff's deputies are investigating two assaults early Saturday on the same man that resulted in the victim being stabbed and flown to a Toledo hospital for treatment.

Deputies first were called at 5:30 a.m. to an address on Dorothy Avenue to investigate an assault on the 27-year-old. The man told deputies he was involved in an altercation at the Avengers Club on nearby Naomi Avenue in Madison Township, but he could not provide a description of the alleged assailants, according to a news release from the sheriff's department. Emergency medical services personnel treated him at the scene for a minor head injury and cuts.

At about 7 a.m., the sheriff's department was notified by emergency department staff at ProMedica Bixby Hospital in Adrian that they were treating a stabbing victim, the release said. When deputies arrived, they determined it was the same victim who had been assaulted at the Avengers Club. The man told them some people came to where he was on Dorothy Avenue, another altercation took place and he was stabbed. He still could not provide deputies with a description, the release said.

The victim was flown by helicopter to ProMedica Toledo Hospital where he was in stable condition, the release said.

Sheriff's department detectives are investigating the incidents.
